Welcome to the Department of Psychology at Saint Louis University.

With over 300 undergraduate majors, approximately 100 graduate students, and over 25 faculty members, our department is vibrant, diverse and focused on exploring and understanding the complexities of the mind and human behavior.

Our mission is to educate students in the discipline of psychology and its applications.

We accomplish this by integrating empirical science, theory, and practice, focused toward the understanding of the behavior and experience of individuals and groups, including the family, organizations, and institutions.

We encourage intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and ethical responsibility in our teaching, research, and practice.Read more
